About this study

Official title: Comparison of Success and Injury (Neuropraxia) Rate When Performing the Sciatic Nerve Block in the Popliteal Fossa Pre vs. Post Spinal Anesthesia for Foot and Anke Procedures: Retrospective Review

This is a retrospective chart review to determine the non-inferiority of performing lower extremity peripheral nerve block placement under spinal anesthesia compared to its pre-spinal counterpart.

Read the detailed description

This is a retrospective chart review to determine the non-inferiority of performing lower extremity peripheral nerve block placement under spinal anesthesia compared to its pre-spinal counterpart.

Primary outcome:

  • The investiigators will be looking into persistent abnormal neuropathic symptoms lasting more than 7 days following a sciatic popliteal nerve block.
Keywords
lower extremity peripheral nerve block, spinal anesthesia

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Persistent Abnormal Neuropathic Symptoms

    Definition of abnormal neuropathic symptoms including numbness, tingling, burning, or pain sensation.

    Measured: lasting more than 7 days following a sciatic popliteal nerve block

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. NRS pain scores in recovery

    A score on a scale from 0 to 10 on how bad the pain is. 0 means no pain, 10 means worst pain. A lower score means a better outcome.

    Measured: PACU recovery stay (up to 48 hours)

  2. Amount of supplemental analgesic and antiemetic provided in the PACU

    This includes: IV dilaudid push, oral oxycodone, tramadol, hydrocodone, dilaudid, acetaminophen, ketorolac, ondansetron, dexamethasone.

    Measured: PACU recovery stay (up to 48 hours)

  3. Anesthesia induction time

    time from entering the OR to time of anesthesia induction end as defined by the completion of both the spinal and sciatic nerve blockade

    Measured: From the time which patients enter the OR to time of anesthesia induction end (up to 24 hours)

  4. Number of hypoxemia events during induction time

    Measured: during induction time (up to 24 hours)

  5. Amount of sedation given

    fentanyl, ketamine, midazolam, propofol

    Measured: during induction time (up to 24 hours)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Foot Surgery and Ankle Surgery, run by Hospital for Special Surgery, New York at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 1 May 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study was stopped early (reason given: Retrospective study that the PI decided not to proceed with). Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Persistent Abnormal Neuropathic Symptoms (time frame: lasting more than 7 days following a sciatic popliteal nerve block). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 1 May 2024.
